Do you think this has more "work space / real estate" compared to the 34UD98 version?
This 32 inch model has a higher pixel count, yet its diagonally smaller yet taller. Does this mean you see less side to side, however from top to bottom you would be able to see more?
Would productivity for multiple windows be better on this monitor or the 34UD98?
Anyone have their thoughts?

No, productivity would be better on the 34UD98 because you don't have to do any scaling. If you want even more screen real estate, there's the 38CB99-W, but it's $1500.
The 32UD99 would require some kind of scaling, which would reduce your screen real estate. You could run it at it's native 4K resolution, but text will be super small.
FWIW, bhphotovideo.com is offering preorders of this monitor for $997 with a free $100 gift card for you to use on the next toy you get from them. I ordered 2 and got 2 x $100 gift cards, but obviously won't receive the display until it ships ... they claim it's "coming soon" and offer free shipping. Check it out:

Do you have the link to the 34UD98? I can only find the 34UC98 but that comes only with a thunderbolt 2 connection. I just got the touchbar MacBook Pro and looking for a 21:9 monitor that supports thunderbolt3
Has anyone confirmed if you can adjust the brightness via an external keyboard (F1 & F2 keys) when using a Mac ?
I can't unfortunately. Also, my sound doesn't work, I connect my 15" MBP 2017 via USB-C with the delivered cable. It worked the first day, but not after that anymore... Anyone else have any success?
I just bought this gorgeous monitor and I have a MBP 13" (Late 2017) connected to the display via USB Type-C, but I can't control the brightness and the volume from the Apple Wireless Keyboard, neither from the MBP's Kb. I managed to solve this issue by installing a free software that allows you to modify the brightness and the volume without having to set it manually (from the LG's OSD button).
But the problem it's not solved yet, I want to use the keyboard to set the brightness and the volume. So, if you did not get to the solution, I will contact LG's Customer Service to better understand the problem.
There's another small issue, the MBP recognises the monitor as a 27" and not a 32", as shown below.
The main problem is the brightness and volume control!

There's another issue: if my MBP is in standby for hours, then, when I press the button of the keyboard (bt and Mac), mouse (bt) and trackpad (Mac) the monitor does not start up automatically even if I turn it on manually.
The OSD shows that the input is from the type C but it does not deliver any power (via type c), and the Mac does not read any external monitor. When I unplug the power supply to the display and then I plug it in again it start work normally, obviously, it works with the above-mentioned problems.

I never had that issue, I usually hit the space bar or move the mouse and it wakes up without a problem. I love the monitor, as I can now use it also for my work laptop that comes with USB-C input!
Just purchased a 34" 4K monitor for something like $1399 so $999 for a 32" seems about right to me.
